Vihaan's Dance Show

14th December 2011 -AMM School Auditorium

Kids Central Term End Show -Toddler Kutties

We got it all ready ..his dress code right -Plain White T shirt and Denim blue shorts.

And we prayed everything goes smooth in leaving home as being at his school by 08.30 than the usual 10.30am is far earlier if not for vihaan for his office going amma & appa. We rushed and got into the car at 08.30 ( the time we were supposed to be at the Auditorium).The only moment in my life where i blamed myself for being late ( as the mom in me did not want to let down vihaan)

Guess am forgetting this was toddler group and it is pretty normal to be late given the kind of tantrums kids this age make. I realised this after reaching there as i had good company for being late .Many moms were rushing like me .

I ran fast to back stage and Vihaan's favourite Kirthika Aunty grabbed him to get him dressed .

The most happiest and Proud Sujay & Viji waited to see their only Son take center stage at Toddlers performance .He was adorned with the adorable Penguin. And there he went ...doing his trademark dance "tummy bummy shake" for the music . Aptly for the Gummy bear song his hands went up his head ( This he was showing us even before the performance day) And he timed the salute very well and i could see him trying to watch his teacher's movements and he tried copying some of them very cutely . A taller boy blocked vihaan's sight and that did not deter him as we could still see his hands and legs move to the dance tunes. Penguin song came and Vihaan looked little lazy to bend down for a step and he did a short cut bending step . As everyone did the finale and clapped , we could see after all the claps ended -vihaan started clapping too and with all the aunties saying 1,2,3,4,5 & Bye -Vihaan happily waved bye bye and went backstage without waiting for the rest of his team to go in the way they had planned it

This is probably his symbolic way of expressing himself - " Phew....Finally ,we are done with this dance show and i am happy to run home!!"

Whatever it was ...."You were awesome my ROCKSTARRRRRRRRRRR"

It's 2012, 2012 & 2012!!!

As i write my first blog for this brand new year 2012, am wishing for me and everyone more good things and happy moments this year than the last one. Though we say , happiness is what we make out of a situation , sometimes we are forced to believe in what has to happen will happen kind of sayings . I remember blogging beginning of 2011 a small wish list kind of a thing . Just looked up to see how many actually happened in my life .Some events are yet to come but 2011 gave me many special moment as a mother. Watching my little baby stepping into school , listening to his mazhalai sweet rhymes , Seeing his dance movements and feeling so proud to hear about every milestone achievement at school makes this year that went by a memorable one for me.

On the career front , it was the worst year for me as i always get stuck exactly before a great opportunity. But there is no looking back as am sure if i would have taken up those big challenges -i would have missed out on giving quality time to many mommy moments that i had to spend at vihaan's school. Hoping at the end of this year i would say 2012 was a better year for me at work ..

My last year ended with replacing our dear Ford Ikon with a brand new ETIOS! And i am hoping he will stick with us for another 5 years. And what else ??? Yes... i was not making enough time for myself, my husband & friends in the last year and my focus was completely on my Vihaan and my XLRI PG course. Now that am done with the course and i have got decent scores in all the papers, am gonna make up for it and spend extra time for all that i missed out in the last year ...But even that made 2011 a memorable one as i always had a regret on missing out on college life and a proper education in life ..Now that big wish fulfilled :-)

Wishing and will work towards a Happy Year ahead !!!!!
